- Ooh, new troops! Guess we need some new redshirts.
- ...Yeah, definitely in need of some new redshirts.
- OH NO, ARFUR HAS TO FIGHT SOMEONE GOOD AT FIGHTING. HE'S GONNA DIE UNLESS SOMETHING SPECTACULAR HAPPENS LIKE, UH, MAGIC AND SHIT.
- Where did Morgause get eyeliner? And also, why? I get a weird feeling it can only mean bad things, meta-wise. But still, bitch is fierce and Morgana should ~watch and learn~.
- DID SHE JUST KICK HIM IN THE BUM?! I love this show.
- SERIOUSLY, LITERAL ASS-KICKING. LOVE.
- Oh Arthur, sweetie. Sometimes you are really just a five year old boy.
- Morgause is hot. Just, you know, for the record.
- HEY GUYS, MORGANA IS IN BED. BLUE-ISH LIGHTING. But in a radical new direction for this show: no screaming and flailing!
- I am loving the Morgause/Everyone interaction. Acetimes.
- Arthur's face when Morgause mentions his mother. Ohhhh, baby boy ♥
- Gwen's face when she's waking Morgana up! Mounting terror, then straight to amusement. I love that girl.
- UTHER, YOU'S A DICK.
- And seriously, Uther is a weird bastard. He chucks Arthur in front of monsters and unknown fighty-knights and all that shit, but as soon as ARTHUR wants to do something that might possibly be reckless, he gets all 'You're not going out dressed like that' about it. I mean, really. Get it together, Pendragon Senior.
- "So I take it we're going anyway?" This scene is ADORABLE. Oh boys, I'm glad you're back to your proper selves.
-Ahahaha, convenient rope is convenient. Also Merlin, sweetheart, why not move the whole rope to your room, at once? The snakey trick is cute, but stupid. Which could be the tagline of the entire show, I suppose. "Cute, but stupid". I'd like to see it on the posters, please.
- Arthur is so trusting and unsuspicious of everyone, ever. "The nice lady said I'd find my way, and the horse is deciding for itself, so that's wonderful stuff. Nothing dodgy and/or magical about this, no sir! What a lovely day".
- Okay, okay. Please tell me I am not the only one reading sexual innuendo into all the 'what if Morgause makes you do something you don't want to?' stuff? Please? Everyone blatantly thinks she wants in his knickers. Right? Please?
- ARTHUR. HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN A HORROR FILM? ...HORROR BALLAD? YOU NEVER SAY 'THIS SHITTY THING COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN ANY SECOND!' NEVER EVER EVER. NINNY.
- Wait, wait, you just valiantly and awesomely saved Merlin from a nasty bandit type fellow. I forgive you for the naivety. For now.
- Merlin and Arthur are having a deeply emotional conversation! This is special! Aww. Arthur's mother! Merlin's father! How lovely.
- Man, I love The Shady Past of Gaius the Unwise.
- Wet boys! Most excellent.
- Gratuitous reference to Arthur not knowing about Merlin's magic! Do you think the writers get their scripts sent back if they forget to include those? "Sorry, we just need two gratuitous references, and a scene with Morgana in her nightclothes. Will that take you long? If you can stick in a few more dead knights here and there, that'd be fabulous. Cheers"
- HEY LEON!!!
- Arthur actually says he thinks magic can be used for good! I'm amazed Merlin didn't just jump him right there and then. And not even in a fanfiction way.
- And now he's yelling at Uther about his execution-y ways! And GAUNTLET. This is intense.
- HOLY SHIT MERLIN, DON'T SAY THAT. YOU DIRTY LITTLE SHIT. Seriously, there is no way in which saying that was a good idea.
- Merlin's sense of humour is supercute.
- THE END.
Because I am obviously not already busy enough, I have been thinking of making a Merlin fanmix. Question is, would there be any interest?
